Ender then sets out on a journey to find a new home for the buggers where they can live in peace. The detail within the book, along with the greater influence placed on characters other than Ender within it, make the novel better than the movie. Three of the most important points in Ender’s game are how Ender was selected for battle school, how he overcame each challenge he faced as he tried to be moved up to command school, and how he tried to make things right at the end of the story with the bugger species. Ender’s parents were selected to have a third child, something that was not permitted by the government.

Some scenes that prove that the movie is richer in quality than the book; is the fight with the buggers at the beginning, the battle room scene with salamander and leopard army, and when Ender goes on the Bugger 's planet to talk to the queen. Let 's begin from the movie with the scene of the bugger 's invasion. At the beginning of the movie, we see the Formics ' (buggers) attacking Earth.

Human Views on Aliens Humans are known to be the most competitive race on Earth, but what do they do when an extraterrestrial race challenges that authority? In the novel Ender’s Game and the movie The Day Earth Stood Still, by Orson Scott Card and Robert Wise respectively, the way humans perceive aliens is usually negative even if the aliens mean no harm. This is important because humans don’t understand that a race that is competing with them might not be trying to harm them, even if they are different. Sometimes these misunderstandings can cause dangerous consequences. The first major difference is the setting.

What Was Better the Book or the Movie? Gavin Hood 's adaptation of Orson Card’s book Ender’s game is a great representation of awesomeness. Ender wiggin played by Asa Butterfield is an example of pure genius but however some of the details are off such as him at graduation battle instead of his toon being in different rooms, they are right there with him throughout the whole battle when they destroyed the whole bugger planet. Another detail that was left out of the book is the chapters in the book that were just all about Valentine and Peter.

For an example when in both Ender was in the ship to go to battle school. It worked good because it kept the main point the same with both the movie and the book.

This was good because they both showed the same picture both in the movie and book. Atlast when they both showed when Ender had the monitor pulled out from the back of his head.

John Kessel makes a few good points about Ender’s Game and the damaging effect it has on the readers. Kessel makes his stance clear and expresses four main points that Orson makes during his book: Ender is innocent and perfect, Training equals intent, intention is based on morality, and you do not have to worry about the families who were affected by the deaths of both the Stilson and Madrid boys. After reading the book myself, the points above seem to be valid and they seem to make up the book. Ender is “perfect”. Early in the book(not even past the first chapter), Andrew Wiggin beats up a little boy named Stilson and shows no mercy as it is later said that he kept beating him to the point of death.

Though, it goes past the ordinary conventions by making the commanding officers the opponent instead of the aliens. Ender’s game portrays a possible society where governments are in more control over its civilians and some of the technological advancements in the novel are similar to today’s technology. The novel also introduces the reader to a misjudged alien race where humans see these strange beings as a threat and wish to annihilate them. Ender is tricked into destroying their entire race causing the humans to become the true alien invaders. Science fiction is a captivating genre that creates an escape from the real world, while at the same time making the reader wonder if the world portrayed could be coming in the near
